"National Running Day, held annually on the first Wednesday in June, is a day when runners everywhere declare their passion for running. Wherever we are and whomever we’re with, we run — fast or slow, alone or with others, all over town or just around the block. It is a coast-to-coast celebration of a sport and activity that’s simple, inexpensive and fun. It’s the perfect way for longtime runners to reaffirm their love of running and for beginners to kick off a lifetime and life-changing commitment."

So, Running, in case you didn't already know, here is a reaffirmation...

I love you, I really do.

Let's have another exciting and EPIC year together!

What sport do you not "get"?

For me golf. Never even been a little interested and just about die of boredom if forced to watch it.

I am so envious of your running routes! I grew up in the country, but didn't find out about running until I was an adult and firmly entrenched in the suburbs. Seeing your pictures take me back to childhood - especially the wildflowers from today. Thank you!

You run in such beautiful places! I think I need some pretty running routes to inspire my running.

I used to dislike watching any sport, but I have learnt to enjoy some sports like rugby (which is fun to watch partly because the players spend half their time rolling in the mud). I can't imagine watching golf and I find the grand prix pretty dull too!

Ditto on the golf. So. Boring. I don't even like to play it. HOw is chasing around a little white ball and trying to put it in a tiny hole relaxing? The two times I played I was so pissed off by the time I was done. I guess that's why there's always beer involved....

the flowers are gorgeous! i think i dont get auto racing. or at least watching it. just round and round and round forever. i could maybe get into it for the last 10 minutes? haha. LOVE RUNNING and that there is a day to celebrate it:) makes me feel alive and ready to tackle my day! i feel strong and confident!

Happy Running Day to you! I love your list of reason why you love running.I am with you on the whole golf thing. I really just don't understand the appeal. I certainly don't get how anyone can watch in on TV! BOR-ing.

I love all your reasons for running. I do it for all of those as well! Also, I love Lupines! We have them growing wild in the mountains where I grew up. I think it's good that you "stop to smell the roses" once in a while. One of my favorite things about running is being outside in such beautiful places!

My run was great on Wednesday and I had a full on runner's high, on the treadmill no less:) Sport I don't understand is wrestling. Why guys would want to roll around with eachother on mats doesn't make sense to me. Trying to love golf since my hubby loves it, but so far I really suck!
